Hi

A friend of mine who is a senior citizen and want to buy a new car to replace her standard old car. She is very good driver with very clean driving history. Her current car is Volkswagen golf. She is thinking of buying a new Volkswagen golf but automatic of course (easier to drive). Do you have any other recommendation on which car (brand name) she should consider. Too many options and technologies are not really required, just basic stuff but most be automatic.

Thank you in advance.
She needs to lookk first for something she can get into and out of
easily, and will be able to 5 years from now with anticipated
deterioration. It needs to be something she can see well out of as
well - no thick A-pillars blocking peripheral vision (means no front
side curtain air bags) It also needs to be something she can "wear"
comfortably.

Pointed out both wife and I have Subaru Foresters.
Her knees are shot - getting one knee replaced in several weeks.
She has a handicap plate but no trouble getting in and out of the Forester.
